examined III most searching ana tnOf-
Ough manner by the county attorney.
Records were introduced to show that
he had been convicted of larceny at
two different times, for which he had
served time at Fort Madison. 10. The
more he is examined. the more apparent
is it to all that he is entirely lacking in
the cunning and ShrewdneSs which were
so well displayed when Freddy" Bar
rett was on the stand. He appeared to
be totally unable to comprehend the
map OF the locality where he has been
living. "Reddy's" evidence, although
at times he was rather befuddled,
was positive and to the point.
Timothy presents about the same APP
pearance on the witness stand that he
has all through the trial. of

and inattentiOn to the proceedings. A
number of the questions addressed to
him had to be asked the second time, on
account of his inattentiOn. In this
respect he is just the opposite of his
brother Henry, who while OIL the stand
was so nervous that he was unable to
sit in any position for the shortest space
of time. Tins testimony was as fol-
lows:
Il remember conversation between
Henry, Peter, my father and myself,
in which Henry said that his mother in
taking the saloon away from him had
taken 81 900 out of his pocket, and that
he would kill her if he had to go to
Omaha to do il. At another time he
said Peter had Seduc ed his wife'S sis
ter, and that he would tell his mother
about it, and if that did not stop her
from giving him her property he would
put job up on him and would put him
out of the way. When got home that

Were you ever at Fort Madison,
Io.?'' asked Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Erwin objected Oh the ground that
the prosecution was trying to beslnirch
the character of the witness, and that it
was not proper cross examination. The
objection was Overruled, and the wit
ness answered that he had been there.

The witness denied that he stated in
his direct testimony that when he ar
rived at Henry's house the Goth of July,
he saw two men leaving the house.
81 have no recollection now of seeing

He then put the hat on top of his

"Henry gave this pistol to me before
we went to Mortified. Henry cut these
initials on the stock of the pistol before
he gave it to me. had it when L was
arrested by Officer TruaX at NOrthfield.
